NV12 to YUV4

ThexFnv122yuv4function converts a NV12 image format to a YUV444 format. The function outputs separate U and V planes. Y plane is same for both the image formats. The UV planes are duplicated 2x2 times to represent one U plane and V plane of the YUV444 image format.

API Syntax

template void xFnv122yuv4(xF::Mat & src_y, xF::Mat & src_uv,xF::Mat & _y_image, xF::Mat & _u_image,xF::Mat & _v_image)
